Julie Bell is a well-known herbalist, doula and advocate in the birth world. Her early career as a nurse, time spent as an obstetric nurse, and her own mother being a midwife has given Julie an amazing insight into the maternity system. She shares her own powerful journey to birth outside the system, the changes she saw in the New Zealand system, the oppressive systems that dominate Australia's birthing landscape, and birth through a feminist lense.
